A heavy, geometric sans with rounded bowls and broadly open apertures that keep forms readable at size. Strokes stay even throughout, with squared terminals and crisp joins that give the letterforms a solid, engineered feel. Curves are built from clean arcs and near-circular counters, while diagonals (A, V, W, X, Y) are sturdy and stable rather than sharp or spindly. Figures are simple and robust, with a clear, monoline construction and generous internal space in characters like 8 and 0.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where impact and clarity are priorities, such as headlines, posters, and brand marks. The sturdy shapes and open counters also make it a good choice for wayfinding and signage, as well as packaging and labels where quick scanning matters.
The overall tone is confident and contemporary, balancing a friendly roundness with a no-nonsense, utilitarian presence. Its weight and clarity make it feel assertive and dependable, suited to messaging that needs to land quickly without looking harsh or ornate.
The design appears intended as a versatile, high-impact sans that stays friendly through rounded geometry while maintaining strong structure and clear silhouettes. It prioritizes immediate legibility and a contemporary, all-purpose tone for modern editorial and brand environments.
Lowercase forms lean toward a single-storey, geometric vocabulary (notably a and g), reinforcing a modern, approachable voice. The uppercase set reads particularly strong in headlines, and the consistent stroke rhythm helps the text sample hold together cleanly even in dense lines.
